DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Hereinafter, while example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is noted that examples are not limited to the same.

The following detailed description is provided to assist the reader in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein. However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that would be well known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure.

Herein, it is noted that use of the term “may” with respect to an example or embodiment, for example, as to what an example or embodiment may include or implement, means that at least one example or embodiment exists in which such a feature is included or implemented while all examples and embodiments are not limited thereto.

Throughout the specification, when an element, such as a layer, region, or substrate, is described as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element, it may be directly “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” the other element, or there may be one or more other elements intervening therebetween. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element, there can be no other elements intervening therebetween. As used herein “portion” of an element may include the whole element or a part of the whole element less than the whole element.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items; likewise, “at least one of” includes any one and any combination of any two or more of the associated listed items.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or sections, these members, components, regions, layers, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or section from another member, component, region, layer, or section. Thus, a first member, component, region, layer, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second member, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

Spatially relative terms such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” “lower,” and the like may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element's relationship to another element as illustrated in the figures. Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as being “above” or “upper” relative to another element will then be “below” or “lower” relative to the other element. Thus, the term “above” encompasses both the above and below orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be oriented in other ways (for example, rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatially relative terms used herein are to be interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes illustrated in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes illustrated in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of this disclosure.

In addition, in the present specification, a first lens means a lens closest to an object (or subject). In addition, all of radii of curvature and thicknesses of lenses, a distance along the optical axis from the object-side surface of the first lens to the imaging plane (TTL), a half of a diagonal length of an imaging plane (IMG HT), and focal lengths of the lenses are represented by millimeters (mm). Further, thicknesses of the lenses, gaps between the lenses, and the TTL are distances in optical axes of the lenses. Further, in a description for shapes of the lenses, the meaning that one surface of a lens is convex is that an optical axis portion of a corresponding surface is convex, and the meaning that one surface of a lens is concave is that an optical axis portion of a corresponding surface is concave. Therefore, although it is described that one surface of a lens is convex, an edge portion of the lens may be concave. Likewise, although it is described that one surface of a lens is concave, an edge portion of the lens may be convex. In the present specification, the imaging plane may mean an image forming surface on which a lens is focused or one surface of an image sensor.

An aspect of the present disclosure may provide a lens configured to significantly reduce resolution deterioration due to an asymmetrical shape and an optical imaging system including the same.

A lens LM according to an example embodiment in the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B.

The lens LM according to an example embodiment may be configured such that a first profile LMs1 in a first direction intersecting an optical axis C and a second profile LMs2 in a second direction intersecting the optical axis are different from each other. For example, a radius of curvature Rx1 of an object-side surface of the first profile LMs1 and a radius of curvature Ry1 of an object-side surface of the second profile LMs2 may be different. However, the lens LM is not necessarily limited to having different radii of curvature. For example, a radius of curvature Rx2 of an image-side surface of the first profile LMs1 and a radius of curvature Ry2 of an image-side surface of the second profile LMs2 may be the same. The lens LM according to an example embodiment may be configured to be installed in a narrow space. For example, a length Lx of the first profile LMs1 of the lens LM and a length Ly of the second profile LMs2 may be different. For reference, the lengths Lx and Ly of the profiles LMs1 and LMs2 mean a size in a direction intersecting the optical axis as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B.

The lens LM according to an example embodiment may be formed of a plastic material. However, a material of the lens LM is not limited to the plastic. The lens LM may be configured to facilitate mass production. For example, the lens LM may be manufactured by injection molding.

The lens LM according to an example embodiment may satisfy one or more of the following Conditional Expressions:

0<|(Rx1−Ry1)/Ry1|<0.5

0.2 <|(Rx1−Ry1)/Rx2|<2.0

0<|fx−fy|<0.5 mm

0<|(fx−fy)/fx|<0.01

In the above Conditional Expressions, Rx1 is a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the first profile LMs1, Rx2 is a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the first profile LMs1, Ry1 is a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the second profile LMs2, fx is a focal length calculated based on the radius of curvature of the first profile LMs1, and fy is a focal length calculated based on the radius of curvature of the second profile LMs2.

The lens LM may include a cut surface CS. For example, the cut surfaces CS may be formed on both sides of the lens LM. However, both sides of the lens LM are not necessarily limited to being formed as the cut surface CS. For example, only one side of the lens LM may be formed as the cut surface. The cut surface CS may be configured so that incidence of light does not occur. For example, the cut surface CS may be formed substantially parallel to the optical axis. The cut surface CS may be configured so that reflection of light does not occur. For example, an antireflection layer may be formed on the cut surface CS.

The lens LM configured as described above may reduce a resolution deterioration phenomenon that inevitably occurs during injection molding. For example, the lens LM according to an example embodiment may reduce a difference in refractive power and resolution of light generated in a gate direction or in a direction perpendicular to the gate.

Next, an optical imaging system according to an example embodiment in the present disclosure will be described.

An optical imaging system according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure may be mounted on a camera module for a portable terminal. However, the application range of the optical imaging system is not limited to the camera module for a portable terminal. Further, the optical imaging system may be selectively applied to a plurality of camera modules. As an example, the optical imaging system may be applied only to any one of two or more camera modules mounted on the portable terminal. As another example, the optical imaging system may be applied to one or more of three or more camera modules mounted on the portable terminal.

The optical imaging system according to an example embodiment may adjust aberration of light rays reaching an imaging plane. For example, the optical imaging system may adjust the aberration of light rays through a non-rotationally symmetric anamorphic lens. The anamorphic lens may be configured such that a radius of curvature of a first profile including an optical axis and a radius of curvature of a second profile including the optical axis are different. For example, in the anamorphic lens, a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of a first profile including an optical axis and a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of a second profile including the optical axis may be different. The anamorphic lens may be configured such that a length of the first profile and a length of the second profile are different. For example, the length of the first profile may be greater than the length of the second profile.

The optical imaging system may include a plurality of lenses. For example, the optical imaging system may include a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens sequentially arranged from an object side. One of the first to third lenses may be an anamorphic lens. For example, the third lens may be an anamorphic lens having positive refractive power. However, the number of lenses configuring the optical imaging system is not limited to three. As an example, the optical imaging system may further include a fourth lens arranged on an image side of the third lens. As another example, the optical imaging system may further include a fourth lens and a fifth lens sequentially arranged on the image side of the third lens. The optical imaging system may include the anamorphic lens described above. As an example, at least one of the third to fourth lenses may be configured as the anamorphic lens. The optical imaging system may include a plurality of anamorphic lenses. For example, the second lens and the fourth lens may be configured as the anamorphic lenses.

The optical imaging system may include a lens (hereinafter, referred to as a cut lens) whose one side surface is cut. For example, one or more of the first to third lenses, the first to fourth lenses, or the first to fifth lenses constituting the optical imaging system may be a cut lens. The cut surface of the cut lens may be connected to the object-side surface and the image-side surface. The cut surface may be configured so that incidence of light does not occur thereto. For example, the cut surface may be formed substantially parallel to the optical axis. The cut surface may be configured so that reflection of light does not occur. For example, an antireflection layer may be formed on the cut surface.

The optical imaging system may further include an optical path folding element. For example, the optical imaging system may further include a prism disposed on an object side of the first lens.

Next, features of the lenses constituting the optical imaging system according to an example embodiment will be described.

The first lens may have refractive power. For example, the first lens may have positive refractive power. The first lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, both surfaces of the first lens may be aspherical. The first lens may have a predetermined refractive index. For example, the refractive index of the first lens may be 1.5 or more and less than 1.56.

The second lens may have refractive power. For example, the second lens may have negative refractive power. The second lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, both surfaces of the second lens may be aspherical. The second lens may have a predetermined refractive index.

The fourth lens may have refractive power. For example, the fourth lens may have negative refractive power. The fourth lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, both surfaces of the fourth lens may be aspherical. The fourth lens may have a predetermined refractive index. For example, the refractive index of the fourth lens may be 1.60 or more and less than 1.66.

The fifth lens may have refractive power. For example, the fifth lens may have positive refractive power. The fifth lens may have an aspherical surface. For example, both surfaces of the fifth lens may be aspherical. The fifth lens may have a predetermined refractive index. For example, the refractive index of the fifth lens may be 1.5 or more and less than 1.56.

The first to fifth lenses may have the aspherical shape, as described above. An aspherical surface of each of the lenses may be represented by the following Equation 1:

$\begin{matrix} {Z = {\frac{{cr}^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + k} \right)c^{2}r^{2}}}} + {Ar}^{4} + {Br}^{6} + {Cr}^{8} + {Dr}^{10} + {Er}^{12} + {Fr}^{14} + {Gr}^{16} + {Hr}^{18} + {Jr}^{20}}} & {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \end{matrix}$

Here, c is an inverse of a radius of curvature of the lens, k is a conic constant, r is a distance from a certain point on an aspherical surface of the lens to an optical axis, A to H, and J are aspherical constants, and Z (or SAG) is a distance between the certain point on the aspherical surface of the lens at the distance r and a tangential plane meeting the apex of the aspherical surface of the lens.

The optical imaging system may further include other elements in addition to the first to fifth lenses. The optical imaging system may further include a filter, a stop, and an image sensor having an imaging surface disposed at the imaging plane of the optical imaging system.

The filter may be disposed between the lens disposed closest to the imaging plane and the image sensor. The filter may block a partial wavelength from incident light to improve resolution of the optical imaging system. For example, the filter may block an infrared wavelength of the incident light. The aperture may be disposed on an object side of the foremost lens (disposed closest to the object side, also known as the first lens) or between any two adjacent lenses of the first to fifth lenses, or between the fifth lens and the imaging plane. The optical imaging system may include two or more stops disposed at different locations. The imaging plane may be disposed at a focal position of the optical imaging system. The image sensor may convert an image of an object formed on an effective imaging area of the imaging surface by the lenses of the optical imaging system into an electrical signal.

An optical imaging system according to a sixth example embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 13.

An optical imaging system 600 may include a first lens 610, a second lens 620, a third lens 630, and a fourth lens 640.

The first lens 610 may have positive refractive power. An object-side surface of the first lens 610 may be convex, and an image-side surface thereof may be convex. The second lens 620 may have negative refractive power. An object-side surface of the second lens 620 may be concave, and an image-side surface thereof may be concave. The third lens 630 may have positive refractive power. An object-side surface of the third lens 630 may be convex, and an image-side surface thereof may be convex. The fourth lens 640 may have negative refractive power. An object-side surface of the fourth lens 640 may be concave, and an image-side surface thereof may be concave. Among the aforementioned lenses, the second lens 620 and the fourth lens 640 may be non-rotational symmetric anamorphic lenses. The second lens 620 and the fourth lens 640 may be configured as anamorphic lenses having different characteristics. For example, the second lens 620 may have a shape in which a radius of curvature in a first direction of an object-side surface is greater than a radius of curvature in a second direction of the object-side surface, but the fourth lens 640 may have a shape in which a radius of curvature in the first direction of an object-side surface is smaller than a radius of curvature in the second direction of the object-side surface.

The optical imaging system 600 may include a filter IF and an imaging plane IP. The filter IF may be disposed in front of the imaging plane IP to block infrared rays or the like included in the incident light. The imaging plane IP may be formed on an image sensor IS. For example, the imaging plane IP may be formed on one surface of the image sensor IS. However, the imaging plane IP is not necessarily formed on the image sensor IS. For example, the imaging plane IP may be formed on any type of member or device capable of converging optical signals, such as an image film.

The optical imaging system 600 may further include a prism (not shown) which is an optical path folding element. The prism may be disposed on an object side of the first lens 610.

The optical imaging system 600 may include a lens having a shape illustrated in FIG. 1. For example, one or more of the first to fourth lenses 610 to 640 may have cut surfaces CS formed on both sides as illustrated in FIG. 1.
